Postwar Arc

Chapter 3: The Negotiation Recess

「Perhaps,
the reason why you incited Julius-dono was all for this purpose?」(Jeanne)

As Jeanne asked, I smiled wryly and
shook my head.

「That’s
mostly my honest opinion. Thanks to that father and son duo, the Kingdom’s Reconstruction
had been delayed and so I got stuck with an unwanted workload. I only wanted to
vent my complaints.」(Souma)

「Is
that the truth?」(Jeanne)

Jeanne asked without showing any
care for it.

「I
could say the same to you, why did you keep silent even though your allied
country received a “verbal attack”?」(Souma)

「……Because
I don’t know if the citizens’ “eyes” are somewhere in this place.」(Jeanne)

Ah, I see. Jeanne took
precautions against me possibly leaking the negotiations using the Royal
Broadcast to incite the masses, just like what I had done during the Crimson
Dragon Castle-Town campaign. That’s why she didn’t make any superfluous promises
and only spoke out carefully selected words. Hmm? But when I met her at Van’s
marketplace, didn’t she admire the way Royal Broadcast was used?

「Just
by seeing the broadcast in the marketplace, did you already notice it that far?」(Souma)

「Since
it was really shocking. Even I tried to think about the limits of potential uses
of it. Well, their uses probably didn’t stop at such trivial things either, so
when Julius-dono kept rattling on, I was ill at ease.」(Jeanne)

Jeanne said those words with a
wry smile. As expected, she is an opponent that I couldn’t make light of.

「Even
if you’re worried about it, there haven’t been any broadcast orbs in here since
the beginning. It’s different if it’s just Julius. I couldn’t show his unsightly
scene with Jeanne-dono in front of him, since I was concerned that it will
bring disgrace to the Empire.」[1](Souma)

The member-nation’s fault is the
leader-nation’s fault, after all. Even if the Empire is an opponent in the
negotiation tables, they are not an enemy in war. Or rather, they are not a
country that you want to go to war with no matter what happens. So I couldn’t
do something like leaking the negotiation to the masses and causing the Empire’s
disgrace. Jeanne nodded “I see” in admiration.

As if to restart it from
beginning, Jeanne and I introduced ourselves to each other again. Jeanne, who had
only spoke a few words up until now, completely changed to speaking with a
lighter tone. Jeanne smiled at Liscia who was beside me.

「I
also greet the Princess Liscia, I am glad to see that you are well.」(Jeanne)

「Jeanne-dono,
too, is in a good health.」(Liscia)

Liscia also say this while
smiling.

「Huh?
Do both of you know each other? 」(Souma)

「No.
We had only met once when we were small. Perhaps it was before the Demon Lord’s
Army appeared?」(Liscia)

「Perhaps
so. Certainly it was during when you forcibly went along to the negotiations
between the previous King Albert and the Foreign Minister? Since we were of the
same age, we played with each other.」(Jeanne)

I see, since they have connections
as fellow royalty.

「Princess
Liscia has become even stronger than she was in the old times. I can tell just by
looking.」(Jeanne)

「So has
Jeanne-dono, too. Even at that time, I couldn’t land a single hit.」(Liscia)

No, wait a minute here! Why did the
talking about playing together become a story about landing a hit!? Eh?
Perhaps, by playing they meant sword-play? Even though both of them are Princesses?

「Both
of you two princesses might be too tomboyish.」(Souma)

「……At
that time even the gentle Marcus got mad.」(Liscia)

「Our
Foreign Minister was crying. Hahaha.」(Jeanne)

No-no-no-no, it isn’t something
to be laughed at, right?…… Don’t feel nostalgic for troubling Marcus and the
Empire’s Foreign Minister that I haven’t met yet. 「Well,
let the reminiscence end here.」 Jeanne stopped the conversation.

In this opportunity, I want to
talk honestly without pretenses with the Empire. For that reason, it would be
better if the negotiation location was a place where both sides felt
comfortable with. I also wanted pen and paper.

「And,
before that…… Liscia, please call Serina-san here.」(Souma)

「I
understand.」(Liscia)

Liscia nodded and immediately
leaft, after a short time, she came back with a woman wearing a maid dress. This
woman was Liscia’s chamber maid, Serina. She is a bit older than me, an intelligent
beauty-type chamber maid that looks nice in glasses. She raised the tip of her
apron skirt a bit and bowed to me and Jeanne.

「I
have come just as called, Your Majesty.」(Serina)

「Serina-san.
In the guest room, there is the Amidonian Ducal Pr-…… Duke, Julius-dono. Since
perhaps my discussion with Jeanne-dono would take a lot of time, please accompany
and entertain him as a drinking partner.」(Souma)

Serina respectfully bowed towards
that order.

「I
humbly oblige. Therefore, Your Majesty, I request permission to open the Akkou Liquor
in the cellar of this castle.」(Serina)

When she said this, I felt that
Seina’s eyes were glistening strangely for a moment. She didn’t look like it,
but perhaps she is actually quite a drinker. Since it was to entertain the
guest, then it would be alright to drink what she wanted, right?

「I
entrust it to Serina-san’s discretion. If it’s to entertain the guest, then I
will permit it.」(Souma)

When she replied, Serina made an
ice-like smile and then she bowed before leaving the room. Although I am
bothered by that smile, well, since she said she will entertain Julius, then it
might be alright. While I was thinking this, I looked at the people around me and
saw that Liscia and Hakuya had their faces cramped.

「I-is
something wrong?」(Souma)

「Souma……
Akkou Liquor is a liquor famous for being “strong”.」(Liscia)

「Although
the taste is good when indulging in it, if someone who isn’t accustomed to it
drinks it, then they will quickly depart to the dream world. Actually, to drink
it normally, you just need to drop two or three drops of it into juice or tea.」(Hakuya)

Liscia replied and then Hakuya
supplemented the explanation while making a face as though he had a headache.

「Eh?
Then, if she’s “pouring drinks” using that liquor, then……」(Souma)

「The
drinking round will came to an end in just under 10 minutes.」(Hakuya)

「So
you mean that there will be zero entertainment value!」(Souma)

Well, since Julius could be said
as a someone from the enemy country, it doesn’t really matter, but…… Serina-san,
in contrast to her calm demeanor, is quite a schemer. While I was thinking
about this, Liscia spoke out while pinning her fingers against her temples.[3]

「Souma,
there are three people that I am no match for. They are Mother, Duke Carmine,
and then Serina.」(Liscia)

「She’s
Liscia’s chamber maid, right? Why is she on the same level as the former Queen
and an Army General?」(Souma)

「It
is because Serina is a maid so perfect that not only does she have an
attractive face and figure, but she is also excellent in her work performance, and
polite and considerate towards others. Also, for an only child like me, she is someone
who I thought of as an older sister figure. However…… There is only one flaw with
her.」(Liscia)

「Flaw?」(Souma)

「That
is…… how should I say it, sadism
tendency?…… or more precisely, behaving just like a child who is teasing
something that she is interested at…….」(Liscia)

When I asked this, Liscia had the
eyes of someone who was seeing something far away.

「When
I was still a naughty kid, Marcus was the one who would reprimand me, but the
one who doled out the punishment was Serina. Of course, since Serina is only a
maid, she wouldn’t do something like corporal punishment, but in exchange, she
would give mental attacks. At least…… If only at least…… No, those things also…..
Ah geez, why is it that she could always and constantly find my bad points!」(Liscia)

「Just
how much has she grasped your weaknesses……?」(Souma)

While soothing Liscia, who was
hanging her head down in embarrassment, I breathed out a sigh. Serina-(Super-S)-san,
what a frightening child you are……[5]
I could see on the edges of my sight that Jeanne was trying to stifle her
laugh.

[1]Actually:
“Makes the Empire lose face”. But… I think the reader had enough of face this
face that. Though, face is, after all, important in East Asian cultures.

[2]In other
words: To become drinking partners. In Japanese drinking culture, the host will
be the one who will pour the drinks for the guest. I recommend readers to google
and read some article about drinking culture in Japan.

In this
case, Serina is ordered by Souma to keep Julius company with alcohol, etc.

I love when peaceful idiots think "this is a sadist" no that's not a sadist. A sadist pumps you full of pain stimulants and makes you run down a path of jagged glass shards or obsidian. Or makes you watch as they skin your children alive. The maid is just a dick, a very competent dick, but a dick nonetheless.

Not really. A sadist is defined as someone who finds pleasure sexual or otherwise in causing others physical or emotional pain . If making someone cry turns you on you are a sadist. If it does not turn you on but just makes you feel rather pleasant you are still a sadist.

Thanks for the new chapter! I wonder in what state Julius will be found. Personally, I'm hoping for Serina to get him hammered, stripped down to his undies, and hung on a balcony like a futon. Maybe with the addition of the broadcast orb to display it to everyone too~ XD

I thought Postwar arc is LN Book 3. I guess I was wrong. Yuukuri-Onnisan, please add chapters titles in new purchase book so reader can know how many chapters this translation can go. Thanks for the work.

thanks for the translation, as always!I'm reading several of your translations (on your site, of course), and wanted to ask you something.can you maybe make the [next chapter] and [previous chapter] buttons just take the current tab into it?because your [next chapter] buttons in this novel, and in [I became a billionaire but was sent to another world] keep opening new tabs on chrome when I use them.the [chapter index] however does it usually, without opening unneeded new tabs.also, as I saw at least 3 mentions of "read this at yukkuri--", does that mean the translation thieves even started leeching off of you as well? good luck with that.
